Man, I was on edge tonight - preparing to head out to the local park to see fireworks while Rubby De La Rosa was working on a no-hit ter, which he took into the sixth inning while averaging barely 10 pitches per inning.

CNN just hit a 20-year low in the ratings, averaging a pitiful 390,000 viewers during prime time, which makes this an excellent time to announce the new cable news program that I plan to launch as soon as you give me a lot of money.

Did you know that Altuve, going into Friday's game against Texas, led all second base men in the majors in both batting average and hits, was second in slugging and on-base percentage and second in triples.

In science:

One way to interpret Achlioptas’ original question is whether, under a speciﬁc model of semi-random graphs, the phase transition occurs when the average degree of a vertex hits 1 as it does in the Erd˝os-R´enyi random graph.

Random k-SAT and the Power of Two Choices

The average response (= distribution of number of hits) in clean regions of the stack, i.e. away from borders and ﬁshing lines, was measured and is being used to tune the Monte Carlo simulation of the RPC response.

At a given momentum the average number of hits is signiﬁcantly smaller with tungsten than with steel absorber plates, of the order of 30% less. • The response to pions (and electrons) deviates from a straight line already at low momenta (i.e. below 10 GeV/c).

We prove both quenched and averaged large deviation principles for the position and the hitting times of the RWRE.

Large deviations for random walks in a random environment on a strip

To prove the averaged large deviation principle for the hitting times we will need a more restrictive assumption on the distribution η on environments.

Large deviations for random walks in a random environment on a strip

In Sections 4 and 5 we prove the quenched and averaged large deviation principles for hitting times, and then in Section 6 we show how to transfer these to obtain quenched and averaged large deviation principles for Xn/n.

Large deviations for random walks in a random environment on a strip

The main goal of this section is to prove the averaged large deviation principle for the hitting times as stated in Theorem 1.3.

Properties of the averaged rate function for hitting times.

Large deviations for random walks in a random environment on a strip

Recall that the averaged rate function for hitting times is deﬁned by the variational formula in (10) involving the speciﬁc relative entropy function h(·|η).

This completes the averaged large deviations lower bound for hitting times.

Large deviations for random walks in a random environment on a strip

Having proved the quenched and averaged large deviation principles for the hitting times, we now use these to prove quenched and averaged large deviation principles for the speed Xn/n of the random walk.

Large deviations for random walks in a random environment on a strip

Assuming an average track length corresponding to 100 hits in the TPG-AMADEUS, with 100 MeV/c pion and 40% of accepted fraction, we expect to measure a dE/dx resolution of about 9%.

Performances of a GEM-based Time Projection Chamber prototype for the AMADEUS experiment

Therefore, the average hitting time will increase if L increase.

Random-walk domination in large graphs: problem definitions and fast solutions

The energy threshold deﬁnes the spacing of the detector “stations”: with a spacing of 1.5 km between the stations, a 10 EeV vertical shower will hit on average 6 stations which is enough to fully reconstruct the EAS.

Physics of Extremely High Energy Cosmic Rays

The selected tracks on average have four hits, and the cos θ distribution for the polar angle θ to the z -axis is plotted in Fig. 13.b.
